[edit] Architecture
Stoq is implemented in the Python programming language and uses the Postgres database for storage. It's graphical interface is written in GTK via the python bindings. It used a variant of the MVC architecture which makes it easy to write graphical user interfaces, for instance for the web. It contains a plugin infrastructure which allows external modules to extend the framework. It is primarily developed for the Linux operating system, but since its mostly developed in higher level languages it makes it easy to port to other operation systems. For ease of testing, Stoq is distributed through a Live CD based on Ubuntu.
